Thump !!

Rosalie Dale IPA

Thump !!

Recent king tides along our coastline offered endless opportunities for thumping great shots of massive waves!! It is difficult to do them justice within a frame – and to choose between the umpteen shots one ends up with!!

Taken at Whale Beach in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney Australia – January 09.

    Fantastic capture Rosalie, love how you’ve captured the wave just as it hits the rocks, smashing (forgive the pun)

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    Thanks for the ‘smashing’ comment Josie! I took so many shots some of them had to catch waves at the right moment!

    G’day Rosalie,

    You have done a great job with the technical and the timing but oh dear you have cut the top off the wave!
    Go on – back to the beach! ;-)

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    Ha – I do have shots that are further away, AND that are closer – there is also a 3rd party shot which shows where I was standing and why the top of this is cut off – maybe that will be uploaded at a later date! Thanks for the kind words Dennis – appreciated.

    Fantastic shot Rosalie but be careful..I nearly drowned being taken by such big waves…thanks to two English gentlemen I’m still alife..I’m for ever in their debt!
